Resource Room Math

The Resource Room is where students are actively DOING math, in all of it's formulations. The class moves at a slower pace than the regular education classroom; and it is focused on the individual needs of the students.

My goal is to maintain an engaging, supportive and safe learning environment. Presenting information and new concepts in ways that support learning by the diverse students involved in the class; is the main focus.

One of the ways of supporting all the students' learning is through the use of a website called "Prodigy," which helps students become confident with their math skills. What is Prodigy?

Prodigy is a free, Pokemon-style math game that has been proven to improve student scores

and confidence! It is aligned with the Common Core State Standards, and

automatically caters content for each student based on their own individual profile.

Prodigy was designed with three primary goals in mind:

1. To create deep engagement so students double their math practice time at home.

2. To equip teachers with reports and assessment tools to inform their instruction.

3. To provide curriculum aligned content for free, regardless of a student’s demographic.
